[Verse 1]
Leaves are on the ground
Fall has come
Blue skies turning grey
Like my love
I tried to carry you
And make you whole
But it was never enough
I must go
[Chorus]

When I'm gone?
And who'll watch over you
When I'm gone?
[Verse 2]
You say you cared for me
But hide it well
How can you love
Someone, not yourself?
[Chorus]
And who is gonna save you
When I'm gone?
And who'll watch over you
When I'm gone?
[Bridge]
And when I'm gone
Who will break your fall?
Who will you blame?
I can't go on
And let you lose it all
It's more than I can take
Who'll ease your pain?
Ease your pain
[Chorus]
Who is gonna save you when I'm gone?
Who'll watch over you?
Who will give you strength when you're not strong?
Who'll watch over you when I've gone away?
[Outro]
Snow is on the ground
Winter's come
You long to hear my voice
But I'm long gone
